A large drove of cattle passed through town Monday to the farm of Geo. Clough where they will be grazed. They were a fine tot of cattle.

Turner will remove his barber shop in about two weeks to the new building erected by Dr. Adams in the rear of Bergen & Adams’ drug store. The shop will be fitted up in first-cl ass style.

New Hotel. My old patron "and all others are notified that l'am once more engaged in the hotel business. My rooms are new, well furnished, and my tables contain everything the market affords. Charles Scuaejfes. As a purifier, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla acts directly and promptly. A single bottle will prove its merits Many thousands of people are yearly saved from dangerous fevers by the exercise of a little timely care in properly cleansing the system by the use of this remedy. We often here mercha nts and other business men express the opinion that a stauding advertisement in a paper is of no value, although they have some faith in the local columns. The fact is, however, both the regular adveitisements and the local notices have their uses, the one to keep a man’s business’ constantly before the people and the other to attract attention to some specialty. No merchant would think of having a sign painted announcing Ins business and then only swing it out in front of his door occasionally when he happened to think or lecl like it. The suspension of Hyatt, Levings & Go’s bank at Washington, on the 17th inst. created great surprise here The firm is composed of Elisha Hyatt, Hiram Hyatt and Jared Levings. We clip the following from the Daviess County Democrat: “Jft is the general opinion that creditors will get all that is due them, as Mr. Elisha Hyatt is the owner of about eight thousand acres of laud, besides a large amount" of real estate in the city and a great deal of personal property, aggregating in value $300,000 or more, while Ms individual indebtedness is believed to be less than one third of that amount There is not the least shadow of a dou bt that the coming winter will be a cold one. The prophets ail say so— who dares dispute them ? No one but a crank. They have found the moss growing tMcker on the trees, frogs standing on their heads in the mill ponds, the sun flower pointing toward the north pole, and corn busks thicker than usual. The squirrels are laying in an extra supply of winter nuts for 6unday callers, wood is higher and less feet to the cord, coal rnns 1,600 pounds to the ton and a thousand and: one other signs that never fail, go to show that every human being will be frozen stifler tha n a dry goods clerk’s mustache before spring time conies again. ^ _ We have learned the followina^articnlars of the drowning ofVpv. Joseph Turner, who is well known throughout Southern Indiana. On Tuesday the 11th inst. be attempted to cross a ford in White river above Shoals in a buggy, and mistaking the course got into deep water and was drowned, His body was found floating in the river on Monflay of last week and Was taken to Ireland, Dubois county, where bo was burled. At the time of his death he was an agent of the American Bible 8ociety, and was closing up a successful summer's work, expecting to rest during the winter. He was about sixty years of age, and during a long life had acquired a reputation for honor and pietty that will hallow Ms memory.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS. Note the changes iu thcE. k L time card. Freight business is heavy on the Air Lane. The E. & I. construction gang is placing the track in good condition. There is considerable talk of removing the O. k M. shops from Seymour to Vincennes, where general shops will be established. The Air Line has made a change in their time card. The accommodation runs only to Huntingburg instead of Princeton as heretofore. This brain was of great conveieuce to the traveling public. The new E. k 1. and E. k T. H. R. R. time tables have been arranged for good connections. One can leave here at 8 .-00 a. m., connect with the 10:30 train at Evansville for Terre Haute and there catch the Indianapolis train, reaching the capital city at 5 p. in. _ SOCIETY NOTES. Dame Rumor reports two or three weddings “on the tapis.” Some of our young men have a strong desire to visit Washington. Mrs. A. G. Billmever entertained a joyous party of friends Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Duncan gave a party to a number of friends Tuesday evening. It is not “good form,” in society etiquette, to publish lists of wedding presents. ; A dancing clnb is one of the probabilities in social circles during the coming winter season. A number of fair callers have graced our sanctum during the week, but our register being misplaced, prevents a personal mention. Always welcome. One of the most pleasing events ever occurring in Petersburg social circles was the dance at the opera house last Thursday evening, in which about twenty couples of our most estimable young people participated. The fire fieud has been getting in his work at Otwell again. On last Friday morning atabout three o’clock the residences of Dr. Godwin and Dr. Daniel were discovered to be on fire and the first mentioned was totally destroyed. There was no insurance upon the house destroyed and the loss to Dr. Godwin is a heavy one. K r Bueklen’s Arnica Salve.

Mr. Springer, of Mcchanicsburg, Pa., writes: “I was afflicted with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking skeleton. Got a free trial bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, which did me so much good that I bought a dollar bottle. After using three bottles, found myself once more a man, completely restored to health, with a hearty appetite, and a gain in flesh of 48 lbe.” Call at Bergen & Adams’ Drug Store and get a free trial bottle of this certain cure for all Lung Diseases.

Am Eloquent Speech. The following is a stenographic report of the speech made by Pem S. Withers, Esq., at the Otwell ratification meeting last Friday night (21st iusL); • - Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Democrats and Devoted Constituents:—(Cheers)—As there are no other prominent orators present upon this momentous occasion (applause), I will attempt to rfddress you upon this grand and magnificent victory. (Great cheering.) As you are aware, we have been fighting the enemy for over a quarter of this the nineteenth century (applause), and before Old Sol hod reached his golden resting piaoe beneath a crimson horizon (cheers) on the 5th day of November, 1884, that glorious victory which we have assembled here to ratify was spread throughout the land (applause), from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Lakes to the Gulf and was echoed and re-echoed by the musical winds whose sweet concordance we hear to-night. (Tremenduous cheering.) When I look over this vast assemblage and see so many gray-haired Jacksonian Democrats who have stood by us battle after battle (applause), till we had reached the zenith of our glory, I say they deserve a perpetual paradise fanued by the balmy zephyrs of an eternal spring. - (Cheers.) Defeat after defeat has marred our beautiful escutcheon (applause), but not sufficient to destroy the feeling of patriotic pride (applause) that fills to overflowing the soul of every Democrat here to-night. (Thundering applause.) And you Democrats of Jefferson township in particular, you have aided in placing in the Presidential chair (applause) that great reform Governor of New York, (cheers) whose name will shine upon the pages of history like a blazing meteor in the canopy above us. (Prolonged applause.) James G. Blaine, of Maine, is no more. (Cheers.) He is a dead duck. (Laughter.) The g. o. p. has gone to its last resting place. (Applause.) Had Blaine, of Maine, been elected President the pillars of this goverment—

this republic—would have crumbled to dust, like the ruins of Egypt. (Cheers.) The corruptionist has gone where the whangdoodle mourneth. Good-bye, Jim I (Laughter.) You gave successful support to that gallant hero, Col. Gray (applause) and placed him in the Gubernatorial chair (great applause); and last but not least, you have aided to the responsible office of County Coroner your humble servant who now appears before you upon the rostrum. (Greatest applause.) I thank you from the bottom of my Simon-pure, Jacksonian heart (cheers) for that support. I shall discharge the duties of the office with credit to myself, my party, my country, my State and Nation (great applause)—and the people of Petersburg. • * * * * • * : You have Inscribed upon my classical forehead the word “Victory” in letters of gold. (Tumultuous applause). I shall henceforth and forever shine like a Gracchi in the noonday sun. Good-night. (Continued applause lasting ten minutes, hats thrown in the air and anvils roared, and bands played.) C. V. MajorS, Esq., of Rolla, Mo., writes, “I take pleasure iu adding ray testimony tb that of huudveds of others, as to the efficacy of Prickly Ash Bitters. I have not only sold it here ancL-in Arkausas, but have used it myself, and as a regulator of the stomach and bowels, I do not think there is anything better.

JOHN WHITMAN, Jims I-, 1«», Upon* BtipUt

Editors of feeble constitution whose weariness after the extra laborers of the campaign lead them to take gloomy views of life, are pleasing themselves by devising means to render Presidential contests less frequent. Several organs recommend that the term of office he extended to seven, eight or ten years; the Chicago Tribune suggests a life tenure, and now comes the Milwaukee Sentinel, with the proposition to follow the Swiss plan, and abolish the office altogether. The last scheme . will undoubtedly find most favor just now in the eyes of Republicans as much needed measure of civil service reform. They would willingly agree to have the experiment tried for four years, at any rate, particularly if the change could be made to take effect on the 4th of next March.
